A Sonoran Suites Scottsdale Vacation Rental is still available for the Waste Management Phoenix Open PGA Tour. The Waste Management Phoenix Open PGA Tour begins January 28th, 2013 and ends February 3rd, 2013. This annual event is a perfect spot to see your favorite golfers shoot their stuff all over the golf courses. Where is the Waste Management Phoenix Open PGA Tour hosted? The Golf Course that the Phoenix Open is hosted at is the TCP Golf Course or the Tournament Players Club of Scottsdale, Arizona.
How did the Phoenix Open start? In 1932 when the first golfing event started it was called the "Arizona Open". The tournament was then halted in 1935 and then in 1939 Bob Golfwater, Sr. restarted the annual event. In 1975 the PGA Tour was moved to the TPC of Scottsdale, Arizona. The TPC of Scottsdale, Arizona may most notably be known for the 16th hole-in-one that Tiger Woods shot during one of the tournaments. The hole is still known for a vast amount of the hoots and hollers from the fans of the Waste Management Phoenix Open Tour.
The Birds nest is where you will really find the late night action. With a lineup of Dierks Bently and Roger Clyne @ the Peacemakers (RCPM) this is one event that you probably don't want to miss. What is the Phoenix Open Birds Nest? Basically the Birds Nest is said to be the "Hottest Nightclub" in Scottsdale for the 4 day golfing event. It is a tent that is erected in a park North of Scottsdale, which is of course referred as the "Birds Nest".
There is so much more that we could tell you about the Waste Management Phoenix Open, but we would love for you to all be part of the action! We have a way for that to happen too!

Is there anyone from this area that can tell me about this hospital? Right now, this is my only option because I am on Medicaid (although God willing, I will have a new job and new insurance and a big pay raise in the next few weeks!). I was looking at Central Carolina OB that has midwives on staff to deliver at this hospital.
I had considered the birth center in Chapel Hill, but it is 1.5 hours from here and I feel that is just too far for all the prenatals and delivery, especially when having to tote my toddler with me.
The birth center in Statesville is great, they don't accept medicaid and are not credentialed yet so it would likely be several thousand out of pocket to deliver there, even if I do get new insurance. It is also about 50 minutes, closer than Chapel Hill but still a haul.
I'd also love to consider a homebirth (assuming I have a new job and can pay for the services). However, its about 20-25 minutes to the hospital from my house in case of an emergency, and with all the problems with midwives going on in NC, I'm not sure I want to risk using an "illegal" CPM and I can't find any CNMs that do homebirths anymore.

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. | 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. |
8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. | 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. |
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. | 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. |
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. | 10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. |
11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. | 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. |

Bought it because this Ruger MkIII 22/45 costs nothing to shoot compared to my .40. Just put the Williams Fire Sights on today and decided to take some snap shots of this awesome .22. Haven't gotten to the range with the new sights yet but there's no doubt after some adjustments these sights will make it easier to sight in on target. The originals were useless as far as knowing exactly where POA and POI is @ 25ft. Although this 22 is a very accurate shot (1).(2) Being .22LR = pennies per shot which also = blast to shoot. (3) Gives the .40 a chance to breathe while allowing me to shoot for hours without spending an arm and a leg on ammo.
Anyone else on here have one? If so, what are your opinions of the Ruger and are they range whores like mine?

You disappoint me yet again, Riot.

Imagine how many downvotes you would have got if you offered Black Alistar.
I have wanted black alistar forever and I already have goth Annie, so since you stripped the rarity of my Annie skin may I please get black alistar?
ugh this community are complete idiots. goth annie isnt even a legendary and it costs more, not to mention i have all the champs in the bundle. so paying $30 for a skin is out of the question.
Sneak Bug
to think i almost topped up for this... sigh
Bring this back, reddit didnt like it for some reason, so they downvoted it... its not fair to the rest of us.
i didnt play in time to get goth annie and i really want to have her, but the thing that i see is that yes it would be unfair to put her as just a buyable skin, as much as i want her i would rather it be in another kind of bundle pack or even have her buyable but the people that bought the pack get some small refund/replacement skin (that they dont already have.) but it would take a lot of work to sift through them all.
Lord Zayeir
one you need to read the post before you comment, not pick one point in it and go on from there, two there was no point where i said that it WOULD hurt me. i just said that i would like to have it, but it doesnt matter. three i'm only giving a suggestion on the "refund" kind of thing not the whole amount but a scaling verse of so if they had say... 80% of the champs before they had bought the pack, then maybe a 55-60% refund, still keeps a profit there and gives those people some more items that they could choose. as i stated before i dont care too much about having it but if there is any way that could make it fair to the people that bought the pack and still release goth annie it would be very nice for those like me who werent around for it.

Ernesto Quiñonez: Bodega Dreams |
Bodega Dreams is a white-hot debut novel by Ernesto Quiñonez set in his home turf, Spanish Harlem. Quiñonez animates the story of this politically charged urban landscape with razor-sharp character sketches. Chino, a street-smart mural painter bound for college, is the narrator. He introduces us to Sapo, who has a reputation for biting, "When I'm in a fight," Sapo would spit, "whass close to my mouth is mine by right and my teeth ain't no fucken pawnshop." We meet a white teacher who acts like a malevolent missionary and a beloved Latino teacher who tries to instill as much cultural pride as knowledge of science in his students. Chino's dream girl is Blanca, a Pentecostal true believer as gorgeous in her short tight skirts as she is pure in her devotion. The title character is Willie Bodega, a hidden and Gatsby-esque former Young Lord-turned-drug lord. He dreams of a Great Society built on the grants he dispenses to the brightest kids in the neighborhood for college, medical, and law school. He's also a landlord who buys up derelict buildings, refurbishing them and renting them out at sub-market rates to those whose loyalty he is purchasing or rewarding. His dream for this stretch of uptown virtually unknown to its neighbors below East 96th Street is classically revolutionary in spirit: a Spanish Harlem owned and operated by its own population. His pursuit of the dream is both ruthless and calculatingly beneficent. Seemingly, it is also well on its way when we meet a femme fatale straight from the reels of a noir film. Her name is Veronica, though now that she has married rich and moved to Miami, she goes by Vera. She returns for a dedication of a school being named after her for reasons unknown to her and that, anyway, she couldn't care less about: she's home to show off. She does a lot more than that in a novel that serves up harsh reality and lofty aspiration with a humor and immediacy that go a long way in expressing the author's affection for the lives and the streets of East Harlem. In this issue of Bold Type, you'll find an essay by Ernesto Quiñonez as well as an excerpt from Bodega Dreams. --Catherine McWeeney |

Blues boss shelved horror film
Carlo Ancelotti spared his Chelsea players the video nasty of their crushing defeat to Arsenal because he feared watching it would "kill" them.Blues boss Ancelotti normally forces his players to analyse footage of their performances in a bid to eradicate their mistakes.But so low had their confidence sunk after Monday night's 3-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium - which heralded their worst Barclays Premier League run for 11 years - he decided to take pity on them.The tactic appeared to pay off, with Chelsea stumbling to their first league win for seven games against Bolton on Wednesday night.The victory kept their faltering title defence alive and gave them a much-needed boost ahead of Sunday's visit of Aston Villa."I didn't show the video against Arsenal," Ancelotti said. "I normally do show. When the moment is not so good, you don't have to kill! I can show them in the future but not now."

There has been a lot of response from different corners of the 'net (Internet) since the Daniel Tosh gang rape "joke" blog post was brought to everyone's attention yesterday, and OOH BOY. From many, the response has been a to-be-expected, thoughtlessly knee-jerk "if you don't like comedy, don't go see comedy" style defense, which can certainly take you far enough in defense of an inappropriate-but-clever joke, but doesn't so much apply here because "wouldn't it be funny if she got raped by like 5 guys right now" is hardly a joke, EVEN THOUGH it was told on stage by someone with a microphone and a popular YouTube clips show, and it certainly isn't clever. It is simply a nightmare piece of garbage that fell out of a jerk's mouth because, based on previous experience, his brain correctly told him that that was the kind of thing that his audience would respond well to — that the thought of a bunch of guys raping a girl who interrupted his set to say that not all rape jokes are funny would, in turn, be funny. To be honest, i's all so frustrating that I hardly even want to talk about it and I would really just like to lie down on the floor and slowly sink into it until I reach Earth's core and disappear, never to deal with anyone's garbage again. But, for whatever reason, I can't do that. NONE OF US CAN. So let's fucking talk about it. Louis C.K., much like he did when Tracy Morgan had a blog post written about what a nightmare he was onstage, came to the Tosh's defense on Twitter:
And when I say "defense" I clearly mean "confusing either admission or lie that he watches Tosh.0 and enjoys it, coupled with a vague sense of blanket-style comedian support, the source of which we can only assume is the same belief he tweeted about in defense of Tracy Morgan." Because the idea is so vague, and we can only assume his heart (his heart) is in the same place it was during The Tracy Thing, you might as well just read what Gabe said about it already. (TO SUMMARIZE, his point is that even though horrible jokes CAN be funny, that does not mean that just because a joke is horrible, the joke is funny, and also that comedians, et al., should stop acting like they believe that what they say doesn't matter.) (But you should probably just re-read what he wrote because it will only take you like four minutes.) (But also, with this specific case, it's worth noting that just because someone is a comedian doesn't mean you need to pretend to support his awful clips show for the sake of comedic free speech.) A lot of people have been bringing up the fact that Louis C.K., too, has made rape jokes in his set and he, too, often crosses the line. That's true! And I'm sure we all have our own opinions about when Louis C.K. "crosses the line." Maybe some of us disagree with it when he does it, too. Maybe some of us believe that he is coming from more of a thoughtful place, and redeems himself in a way that Daniel Tosh could not. Maybe some of us think Louis C.K. is funny and would be ok with Daniel Tosh joking about rape if they thought Daniel Tosh were funny. Maybe some of us think they're BOTH funny because all rape jokes are INHERENTLY funny. Maybe some of us think CAN WE PLEASE JUST GO TO SLEEP FOREVER. People can think literally anything they want, I'm not going to keep listing what people can think. But when Louis C.K. has, in the past, crossed the line, it has been, at the very least, a non-threatening crossing of the line. The distinction between "rape jokes" (which Daniel Tosh has been doing, without a large, blog post based backlash) and what people are upset with Daniel Tosh about HERE is that the idea behind what he said is the mere, lazy suggestion of rape is where the humor is to be found, not that there are certain ways to see the humor within it. (LOL.) And what people are upset about is the targeted suggestion that the gang rape of a SPECIFIC AUDIENCE MEMBER would be "funny." It's not a joke. Daniel Tosh was not "making a rape joke" and people aren't mad because they can't take jokes about sensitive subjects. (As many have pointed out, the idea of a "sensitive subject" varies with everyone, and if all "sensitive subjects" were off-limits, people wouldn't be allowed to make ANY jokes. AND WE ALL LOVE JOKES!) People are mad because Daniel Tosh was not making a joke, but he was being a fucking bully and all but inciting a crowd to violence to intimidate a heckler, while pressing the idea that rape is funny because RAPE. (Some have mentioned, in defense of Tosh, that what is truly funny about a rape joke [specifically to the Daniel Tosh audience] is the thought that one is joking about rape at all, since everyone knows rape is such an awful nightmare. Those people are fucking liars.)
The owner of the Laugh Factory, the club where this all WENT DOWN, has also released a statement to BuzzFeed, about HIS side of the story. Here are some key quotes:
Masada says Tosh asked the audience, "What you guys want to talk about?" After someone in the front said "rape," a woman in the audience started screaming, "No, rape is painful, don't talk about it." Then, Masada says, "Daniel came in, and he said, 'Well it sounds like she's been raped by five guys' — something like that. I really didn't hear properly."
He continues, "It was a comment — it wasn't a joke at the expense of this girl."
Right. So you didn't hear properly, but you do know that it was soooommmething about her being raped by five guys? For sure. FOR SURE. Obviously the joke was at the expense of the girl no matter what he said because if you make a joke about a heckler, it is at the expense of the heckler. No doy. You think the owner of The Laugh Factory, our nation's most respected vehicle for comedy, would understand that. This time it just happened to be about how funny it would be if she were raped. (OR IF SHE HAD ALREADY GOTTEN RAPED, TO BE FAIR.)
Masada says that the woman then sat through the rest of Tosh's set — which received a standing ovation — before complaining to the manager about Tosh's joke. The manager apologized, Masada says, and offered her tickets to come back to the Laugh Factory for another performance, which she accepted.
"If you're offended why would you take a couple tickets to come back to the club again?" he says. "If you were offended, how about the rest of the audience" — 280 people total — "who's giving a standing ovation?"
"If you were offended, how about the rest of the audience who's giving a standing ovation?" is possibly one of my favorite nonsense quotes of all time. It's almost so perfect that I don't want to ruin it by talking about it. (Just kidding. I don't want to ruin it by talking about it because I would like to Men In Black this whole thing from my brain.) Clearly, though, IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY BOOKS, things have only ever been proven wrong or offensive if everyone, from the very beginning, agreed that they were wrong and offensive, and no one ever liked them or benefitted from them at all. Those are the only times. The "audience giving the standing ovation," so to speak, has never proven to be wrong about anything. And also everyone who has ever taken two free tickets because the Laugh Factory refused to actually just give them their money back is just a lying bitch who actually enjoys when an audience is asked how funny it'd be if she were raped. How could she not, though, really? The rest of the audience, who's giving a standing ovation!
"I know his character," Masada continues. "He was trying to make everybody laugh. He was so sweet to find out one person was insulted to apologize about it."
Daniel Tosh tweeted an "apology" to his Twitter followers, NOT the girl, making sure to note that he was only pointing out that one can find humor even in life's darkest moments, and also it was taken out of context, and also she was heckling him. So sweet. Just the sweetest sweetheart.
"If this is hurtful — this is a comedy club. They don't mean any harm," Masada says. "If you don't want to get insulted don't go to comedy clubs."
BOOM. Drop the mic. Fuck this dummy. Fuck Daniel Tosh. Let's all try to have a nice day.

Sure, except he wasn't threatening anyone with rape. And, that's really what you want? Anyone with a dissenting opinion to Videogum's commentariat should leave? Is that why comments with multiple downvotes become hidden? Only in the worst societies is dissent made to disappear. I can understand if someone said something truly hurtful or offensive, but that, in general, doesn't happen here.

I understand everyone's counter arguments and I agree that young men on the internet are horrible creatures. But, I still don't think Daniel Tosh was encouraging anyone to rape a lady. Believe me, I am very sensitive to sexual harassment of women due to something personal that happened to someone close to me. That is why I feel strongly about this. Our anger about this issue should be directed where it really matters, not at some comedian. I know you disagree with me that what Mr. Tosh said was trivial. Oh well, I guess.
I'm not against dissenting opinions as a rule, just the ones that condone threats of sexual violence. Jackass.
No, he wasn't EXPLICITLY saying "let's all rape her!" but what he WAS doing is feeding into the mob mentality that leads to actual violence for easy laughs by an idiot audience. Maxim, FHM, Stuff and whatever lad mad I can't think of because my rage level is very high right now DID THE SAME GODDAMN THING. And you know what? It normalizes that behavior. And it normalizes that mentality.
Would you like to see a great example of this? In 2001, during the Puerto Rican Independence Day parade in NYC a bunch of dudes sprayed women "playfully" with water. Then it escalated. Then a bunch of assaults happened to the women by the guys. Then to other women. More than 50. It was captured on video, and it was horrifying. Here is a link to a story about it. I suggest you watch the video so you can see POINT BLANK why "jokes" can turn to "violence" very quickly.
And you are, in fact, a jackass.

Slippery slope, but okay, you can have the last word.
the lesson here is only joke about murdering people, because joking about raping people will be always taken literally, no matter what. so stick to murder.

I always wondered about a bolt. It seems really plausible you'd find a bolt or a washer or a tiny spring in your soup. BUT YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT THE BOLTS.

Being an "equal opportunity offender" doesn't make you less offensive…Tosh is also promoting the exploitation of the language and culture of the Deaf Community with his now routine inclusion of clips from "Dirty Signs with Kristen" – a website where Kristen, a novice user of sign language who is not deaf, provides instructional videos on how to sign phrases such as "show me your genitals" and "you rape the donkeys and eat the shit." Why is this a big deal? Because a) Kristen has neither the credentials nor the cultural privledge to be a "spokesperson" for a minority group to which she does not belong and b) her content is Tosh-level offensive, sexist, racist, marginalizing, and essentializing among other things. Not only that, she stands to actually make a significant profit from her "work" if her book "Super Smutty Sign Language" is published– which is now in the works. If you would like to make a stand against this Tosh-brand kind of humor, please check out the petition against publication of Kristen's book and learn more.

Most Muslims aren't terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims. If we're talking about Muslim Americans it's a different conversation, but by and large the Muslim world is medieval, treats women like walking hymens, hate gay people, believe in a stupid holy book, don't support free speech, etc. etc.

I need help figuring out what these are and how to get rid of them. These tiny white bugs live in my soil and are eating my ripe strawberries. I was told they are springtails but can't confirm that springtails eat fruit, or how to get rid of them. They are less then 1mm, white/semi-translucent, 6 legged with antenea. They only eat the strawberry from the bottom, where it is in contact with the dirt. Photo links...
Follow-Up Postings:
Those are springtails. Yes, some species of springtails are known to be pests. It is likely that they are feeding on overly ripe strawberries. Is that possible, from what you see? We'll trust your careful observation. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why so many people grow their strawberries on top of a ground cover of some kind. This would include landscaping cloth, straw, etc. By and large, springtails are considered an important and even essential part of a healthy, working soil system. They are one of the many soil-borne critters that help turn all kinds of debris (plant and animal stuff) into mineral elements required for plant development. Attached is a pretty good fact sheet that will tell you a bit about your springtails. Below (copy and paste) is an image of a springtail for your comparison. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/rowcrops/e1205-1.jpg |

13 Michigan St. Spartans (23-5)
@Illinois Fighting Illini (23-7)
Sunday, March 01
Assembly Hall
Attendance: None
13 Michigan St.
Champaign, IL (Sports Network) - Kalin Lucas had 18 points and Raymar Morgan 14, as ninth-ranked Michigan State clinched a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a 74-66 victory against 20th-ranked Illinois at Assembly Hall.
Delvon Roe added 10 points for the Spartans (23-5, 13-3 Big Ten), who won their third in a row and sixth in the last seven games.
MSU currently sits atop the Big Ten standings with two to play, as Illinois dropped 2 1/2 games back with the loss and Purdue, the team's opponent in the regular-season finale next Sunday, is two back.
The Spartans extended their conference-leading road mark to 7-1 and cleaned up inside with a 42-16 scoring advantage in the paint.
Mike Tisdale netted 15 points and Mike Davis had 13 with eight boards for the Fighting Illini (23-7, 11-6), who had a brief two-game win streak stopped.
Illinois committed 17 turnovers, leading to 16 MSU points and will face Penn State Thursday to close out its regular-season slate.
Down four, five consecutive free throws by Illinois and a Trent Meacham three- pointer cut the lead to two. Jeff Jordan came up with a steal on MSU's ensuing possession and took it to the rim for two, tying the game at 58-all and bringing on a Spartans timeout with about seven minutes to play.
A Lucas layup and two free throws gave the visitors a three-point edge and Travis Walton's jumper with 1:11 on the clock made it a two-possession game, 64-59.
Demetri McCamey hit a pair at the line for the Illini just inside the final minute but a Durrell Summers slam and subsequent steal provided the Spartans three points after Lucas hit 1-of-2 at the line. An intentional foul was called on Meacham and MSU retained possession, netting a pair at the line from Morgan with 37 seconds left for a 69-61 lead.
Following a Chester Frazier three-ball that cut the lead to five, the Spartans executed pristine ball movement, avoiding a foul, and Summers ran the floor for an alley-oop dunk that made it 71-64 and clinched the win.
Michigan State had a slim advantage from the opening tip and seven straight Spartan points from Lucas held for a 25-20 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.
Davis, though, poured in three consecutive Illini baskets and a Calvin Brock layup a short time later was good for a one-point game, 25-24. MSU doubled up the hosts to close out the half and took a 37-30 lead to the locker room behind back-to-back jumpers by Korie Lucious and Goran Suton that closed out the opening 10 minutes.
The Spartans stretched their lead to 11 to open the second half before Illinois used a 13-6 spurt to draw within four close to six minutes in. Tisdale provided a pair of jumpers and closed the surge with two free throws. His trip to the line began a string of seven straight points by Tisdale for the hosts, allowing the margin to remain at four, 52-48, midway through the half.

With administrative agencies like the EEOC, NLRB, and OSHA doubling their investigator ranks and stepping up enforcement actions in recent years, increased scrutiny has been placed on employer investigations and findings arising from these investigations.
Although the scope of each investigation will vary depending upon the allegations and number of parties involved, there are 10 fundamental actions every employer conducting a workplace investigation must take to ensure that it has conducted an effective investigation that not only complies with statutory requirements, but also that may be used defensively as a shield in litigation:
Identify all key allegations and relevant witnesses.
After receiving the complaint, it is critical to prepare an agenda or outline for interviewing witnesses and, then, right away set up times to interview all relevant witnesses. In workplace investigations, it is too easy to overlook central issues and/or witnesses if interviews are conducted without careful focus.
Develop an "opening statement" when talking to employees and managers.
Because many employees will be nervous and apprehensive in participating in workplace investigations, it is critical to lessen these fears in order to ensure a cooperative and truthful witness. At a minimum, an "opening statement" should:
• Disclose the nature of (or reason for) the interview;
• Inform either the employee or manager why he or she specifically is being interviewed;
• Remind the employee of the company's anti-retaliation policy;
• Encourage candid, frank discussion; and
• Remind employees that no conclusions will be reached until facts have been gathered
Listen carefully to the interviewee.
Although it is important to focus on the central allegations and claims triggering the investigation, it is equally important to explore issues that come to light in the investigation, particularly if they appear to relate to the allegations or claims you are exploring.
Document, Document, Document.
Take clear, concise notes at each interview to ensure an accurate record of the conversation and issues discussed.
Remain neutral.
Nothing stops an investigation quicker or prevents candid disclosure than the perception of impartiality. It is critical that employers remain objective and neutral in talking with parties regardless of the particular interviewee's employment record or history.
Ask for specific examples when discussing the complainant's allegations.
Do not accept the complainant's allegations at face value but, rather, ask them questions designed to elicit specific examples that you can explore with other witnesses.
Analyze the facts and reach a conclusion.
Once you have concluded the investigation, you should review the information gathered shortly thereafter and, then, assess the validity of the complaining party's allegations and consult with legal counsel in determining whether the facts uncovered violate any laws.
Report back to the complaining party.
At the conclusion of each investigation, it is critical that the complaining party be informed that:
• His or her allegations were/were not substantiated; and
• Corrective action was or will be taken (to the extent any violations were found)
Take appropriate corrective action, if necessary.
The range of discipline could include any of the following:
a. Written warning
b. Suspension
c. Demotion
d. Placement on a performance improvement plan/corrective action plan
e. Termination
Consider other "lessons learned."
Employers should revise or re-consider any problematic policies or practices exposed by the investigation, particularly if these issues seem to be recurring.

text: I started with a personal trainer 2 months ago, twice a week for an hour each session. I've also been doing a third day for an hour he set up for me, and running 30-60 minutes 2 other days a week. I'm getting about 16-1800 calories, which my trainer recommended and it's very well balanced. I've started to change composition a bit and I notice more tone, etc but the scale hasn't budged and I haven't really lost any inches. My trainer isn't concerned but I was hoping for some advice as to what more I could do or if I'm just a slow starter and once I start losing it'll come off a little easier? My goal is just to be healthy and I know I'm much healthier then when I started, I feel much better but it'd be nice to be able to see some results in clothing, etc too.

Coder Journeys From Wall Street to Prison
- |
- 9:15 am |
- Permalink
More than a month has elapsed since the years-long investigation and prosecution of TJX hacker Albert Gonzalez came to a dramatic end, with Gonzalez sentenced to 20 years in prison for the largest identity-theft case in U.S. history.
Now a little-noted postscript to that high-profile case is unfolding, away from the media spotlight, as a handful of convicted accomplices in Gonzalez's schemes — who've been free on bail since the case began — say goodbye to their families and friends, and check themselves into federal prison for years. They're paying the price for various roles in the massive crimes.
On Friday, 27-year-old Christopher Scott, who helped Gonzalez crack TJX and other retail chains, will surrender for a 7-year sentence, leaving behind his wife and young stepdaughter. Damon Patrick Toey, 25, will surrender later this month for a 5-year-sentence for helping Gonzalez breach the networks of numerous companies and sell stolen card data.
Of all the defendants now walking into the prison system under their own power, however, one stands out as an unlikely figure in the multimillion-dollar hacking conspiracy: a former black-hat hacker who gave up computer intrusions to carve out a successful career on Wall Street — only to be drawn into a small but fateful role in Gonzalez's crimes.
Stephen Watt, 26, wrote a custom packet-sniffing program dubbed "blabla" for Gonzalez, as a favor for his best friend, he says. Gonzalez and other accomplices then used the code to siphon more than 100 million credit- and debit-card numbers from TJX's corporate network. On Friday, Watt will check into the SeaTac Federal Detention Center in Seattle to begin a 2-year prison term for that code. When he's released, he'll have a $171.5 million restitution order waiting for him — to repay financial losses claimed by TJX in the hack attack.
Restitution for Gonzalez and Scott has yet to be determined. Toey has been ordered to pay a $100,000 fine in addition to his sentence.
Prosecutors don't dispute Watt's claim that he wasn't paid for the code, nor do they assert that he earned any profit from the stolen card data. But U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner felt the enormity of the TJX intrusion, which she called "mightily, mightily malicious and irresponsible," demanded jail time.
The sentence would serve a clear message to Watt and others, Gertner said during one hearing, that "you cannot be a cog in this wheel knowing that someone else is stealing … even if you didn't get a dime for it."
If Watt had remained in prison after his 2008 arrest, he'd likely be out by now for time served. But he never believed he'd get prison time for what prosecutors and the judge acknowledge was a minor role in Gonzalez's criminal enterprise.
Though he was once headed for a promising future on Wall Street developing software for real-time trading systems, he hasn't worked since federal agents raided his cubicle at Imagine Software in August 2008, and is now barred from the securities industry for life — all for malicious code that he says took him about 10 hours to write and test.
"I have no remorse for anything I've done when it comes to some sort of moral vantage point," he told Threat Level earlier this year. "I have nothing whatsoever that's causing me to lose sleep, other than the harm and potential embarrassment this has done potentially to my wife and mother."

Lunch and a Book February 2012
On Thursday, February 9th from Noon to 1:00 PM we'll be discussing:
The girls from Ames: a story of women and friendship by Jeffrey Zaslow. Meet the Ames Girls: eleven childhood friends who formed a special bond growing up in Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eight different states, yet managed to maintain an enduring friendship that would carry them through college and careers, marriage and motherhood, dating and divorce, a child's illness and the mysterious death of one member of their group. Capturing their remarkable story, The Girls from Ames is a testament to the deep bonds of women as they experience life's joys and challenges — and the power of friendship to triumph over heartbreak and unexpected tragedy.

Houston's Trae Tha Truth is an artist that receives respect from much of the industry as a whole, despite being blackballed from his local hip-hop radio station, after a tragic shooting at one of his Trae Day events in 2009. After a jock at the station said Trae was inadvertently responsible for the violence because of his lyrics, Trae retaliated by dissing her on a mixtape, which resulted in his permanent banning from the station. Despite this and other hardships, it hasn't stopped Trae in his tracks, as he has signed with T.I.'s Grand Hu$tle imprint, and just released his I Am King mixtape, with support from many of the industry's biggest artists.
Trae's unmistakably deep voice is what separates him from his peers, as it overpowers virtually all of the lengthy guest list that appear on I Am King's twenty tracks. However an album this long leaves plenty of margin for error, as many of the tracks run into each and sound redundant. "Fucked Up" starts the album off, as Trae acts as the great mediator between formerly beefing rappers Young Jeezy and T.I., and sets the tone for the rest of the LP. While this track more or less works, the same formula of overly apocalyptic, evil beats is employed over and over again ("F*cked Up", "I Am King") until you've simply had enough.
It's when Trae changes things up that things begin to balance out and he truly shines. "Dark Angel" is a more honest look at street life, where both Trae and Kevin Gates pour the heart and soul into their verses, focusing less upon the flossy gangster lifestyle, and more on the troubles that steered them into it. The Coldplay-sampled "Driven" with Lupe Fiasco also works, as it's a nice change of pace, while the Lana Del Rey flip, "Ugly Truth", with B.o.B., does the same later in the LP. "I Believe" with Big K.R.I.T. also tones things down a notch, and works as a dope cut to close the shop up for the night.
But two of the best tracks come midway through the LP, such as "Old School" – an ode to the classic Cadillac, with a chilled out beat by Trackbangas and super smooth guest shot from Snoop Dogg. "Ride Wit Me" follows, as Boi-1da creates perfect chemistry between each Trae, Meek Mill, and T.I. It's not long, however, before the monotony sets back in, on tracks like "Hallelujah" and "1 Up", save for Jadakiss show-stealing verse on the latter.
Trae recognizes his own talent, and obviously is a workhorse when it comes to his craft. As far as mixtape releases go, I Am King plays more like an album, as there are no lazy freestyles or unfinished tracks included. However what holds him back is a lack of quality control. He could have just as easily picked the best ten tracks for I Am King's tracklist and ultimately delivered a more tightly-knit release. Regardless, Trae's fanbase will eat this up, and there are several strong moments to insure that base keeps growing.
Classic ABN wreckin in ya deck again. The fallen soldiers of the SUC (rip)would be proud.

Chicken issue generates squabbles at Craig City Council meeting
Wednesday, July 27, 2011
In other action ...
During its regular Tuesday meeting, the Craig City Council:
• Approved, 5-0, a special events permit for a beer garden at the Moffat County Fairgrounds as requested by American Legion Post 62.
• Approved, 5-0, renewal of the 3.2-percent beer retail liquor license for City Market No. 15 at 505 W. Victory Way.
• Approved, 5-0, a supplemental budget request for wastewater treatment repairs
• Tabled discussion of an introduction to Ordinance 1015, licensing pawnbrokers in the City of Craig.
— Mayor Terry Carwile and council member Byron Willems were absent.
Before Jeremy Looper addressed Craig City Council, some adjustments had to be made to the microphone.
Looper, an 11-year-old Craig resident and member of Boy Scouts Troop No. 172, could barely see over the podium. After some deliberation, City Manager Jim Ferree decided to hold the microphone so Looper could be heard.
Looper attended the council's regular Tuesday meeting to discuss the ordinance that prohibits chickens within city limits. Several members of the audience spoke for and against chickens, and the council weighed in on the issue, too.
As introduction, Looper said he has always wanted to raise chickens and his attendance at the city council meeting will help him earn a Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge through the Boy Scouts.
During his presentation, Looper outlined what he believes are the benefits of owning chickens:
• Fresh eggs are better, he contends.
• Chickens help reduce food waste because the omnivorous birds will eat table scraps.
• Chickens are a cheap source of fertilizer.
• Chickens help keep lawns trimmed.
• They are low-maintenance pets.
Looper listed other Colorado communities that allow the fowl – Steamboat Springs, Denver and more.
After Looper's presentation, several community members approached the podium to speak their peace.
Craig resident Devin Jurgensen said she opposes chickens in town.
"My father-in-law lived out by Loudy-Simpson and he had (chickens)," she said. "Flies come along with their waste."
Jurgensen said chickens are incompatible with city life.
"If I wanted chickens, I'd live out in the country," she said. "I chose to live in the city so I don't have that nuisance."
Next, Craig resident Susan Domer spoke on behalf of chickens.
"I have done a lot of reading, I've grown up around chickens," Domer said. "Chickens are as dirty as their owners are.
"You can have a good, clean chicken coop if you clean it every day."
Domer said four or five chickens is a reasonable number, and the birds are well behaved.
"They don't bite mailmen, they don't bark all night long and they don't chase the neighborhood children," she said.
Craig resident Bobbi Grove also grew up with chickens, she said.
Her memories of the birds are not so fond.
"They bring a world of bugs," she said. "The bugs go into your houses. They go everywhere.
"(Chickens) smell god-awful. And, no, they don't bark, but they do cackle. And anybody who walks within ten feet of them knows that, because they do scatter and scream."
Grove said she respected Looper's involvment in local government, but she questioned his sincerity.
"What the little guy is saying is all well and good, but mostly he wants a badge," she said. "I have to admire that, but I don't have to buy it."
Cindy Looper, Jeremy's mother, rose to the podium next.
"I just want to make one correction," she said. "The badge does not require Jeremy to talk to you. It just requires him to be here (at a city council meeting)."
Next, individual council members voiced their opinions.
Councilor Don Jones recalled a time before the current ordinance.
"Thirty years ago, we used to have chickens in Craig," he said. "Everybody in town had chickens"
Jones said the town also had a large contingent of skunks during that time.
"Skunks love chicken eggs," he said. "We got rid of the chickens and we had a big skunk drive. The sheriff's posse went up and down the alleys, and I don't know how many hundreds of skunks were shot during those two months of driving."
Jones said he agrees with Looper that fresh eggs are better.
"But, there is also a place for the chickens. And, for me, that's not within the City of Craig," Jones said.
Council member Gene Bilodeau said dog owners provide an easy analogy to potential chicken owners.
"We have people in the community that do an exceptional job of taking care of their dogs," he said. "And, we have, in my mind, an inordinate amount of people who do not take care of their dogs.
"I guess I'm real leery."
Council member Joe Bird said he had performed an Internet search during the discussion.
"I just Googled 'things that eat chickens,'" he said. "There's a long list that comes up, and about 90 percent of which call Craig or this county…their home.
"What's going to come into town because you have live bait?"
Bird cited badgers, mountain lions, foxes and wolves as potential predators of domestic chickens, and wondered what might happen if those wild animals make contact with people.
"That might sound extreme, but I'm more for making sure we're protecting the citizens of Craig, and not the ability to house (chickens)."
Council member Jennifer Riley said she is not a proponent of introducing chickens to Craig. And, she acknowledges the subject has the potential to divide people.
"My own household is a divided household on this issue," she said. "Some of us want chickens and some of us don't. One of us votes on City Council, one of us doesn't.
"Obviously people are passionate on both sides. I do appreciate the comments and I look forward to the oncoming debate that I'm sure we'll have."
Riley said the issue would be addressed again at the next council meeting on Aug. 9. She encouraged Craig residents to attend.

Aside from the "issue" I would like to say good job to Jeremy for being active in our community. Not many kids his age would even want to sit at a council meeting, let alone speak about something he believes in. I'm sure there are other ways of getting that badge, but good for him that he made the choice to speak, not many youngsters in this town care about how this town works, let alone want to participate. This is about a learning experience for a young man who might one day be involved in the more pressing issues in this town/country. I hoped he learned a lot and continues to be passionate about his beliefs and continues to think deeper.

ranger520, you have that right. If anyone has walked the ally's around town and about jumped out of your hide at the big bored, neglected dogs that come out and jump on the fence and make you jump I have to wonder, if the neighbor has chickens how's that going to go?? More fights more calls for police. I have chickens and live in the county and had a rooster that absolutly drove me crazy, now how would that go in town?? And they 'pop up' in your batch if you don't know what your doing. Ever see the add's for free rooster's?? I wouldn't want to live next to them that close. And yes chickens take care as do dog's and they don't always get what they need besides 'there'. I think this issue would just compound a problem already with the dog call's they get, ever count those?? Yes there would be responsible owners but from the looks of the dogs in the back yards that just bark and never leave it makes you wonder if this can of worms is worth it.
oldglory 3 years, 6 months ago
I do not see a difference between allowing some animals and not others. If you are going to be putting restrictions on what animals people can't have, how about we ban pitbulls like the ones that attacked the high school teacher? It's all about personal freedoms and personal responsibilities folks. If you don't want chickens, don't get them. Easy as that, but what gives you the right to tell your nieghbor what they can or cannot do on thier own property? I think the mountain lions coming into town for a few chickens is quite a stretch. And as far as the comment about living in the city, this is a rural city. It's not Denver or Grand Junction, it's Craig. That's what a lot of people love about Craig, is that it still has that small town feel to it.
native_craig_guy 3 years, 6 months ago
I agree with Oldglory. Personal Freedoms are at the top of this list. Chickens are no more obnoxious than most people's dogs. Owning a pet is a responsibility and people should be deal with the consequences of their freedoms. If they want to drive a car, they must get insurance and pay registration, if they want to own a chicken they should simply take care of it and ensure that they don't disrupt their neighbors. If a particular neighborhood doesn't want chickens, they should start up an HOA and ban them. (BTW- an HOA would also prevent all the junk piling up in people's yards). Chickens are the least of our worries. Ugly homes and trashy junk piled yards are more of a nuisance than any future McNuggets.
